On October 26, the Israeli Defense Forces launched a retaliatory strike called "Operation Iran" in Tehran. This attack came in response to an earlier missile barrage from Iran on October 1, which involved nearly 200 missiles aimed at Israel. The Israeli military claimed it had the right to respond after that attack, resulting in the deaths of four people and the destruction of several military bases in Tehran. Iranian officials expressed anger and promised a "proportional reaction" to Israel's actions. U.S. Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin warned Iran not to retaliate against Israel. The Israeli strikes focused on Iran's air defenses and military capabilities, especially after Israel had previously killed key leaders of Hezbollah in Lebanon. The situation has created heightened tensions in the Middle East, with many watching closely for further developments.

The day after Hamas chief's death The Telegraph reported that Israeli Mossad agents, working with Iranian Revolutionary Guards, planted explosives in the guesthouse where Haniyeh was staying. The plan to kill him during a funeral was canceled due to the large crowd, so the agents planted explosives in three rooms instead. If true, this would be a significant security breach for Iran. However, the Israeli Defense Forces deny involvement in attacks around that time, except for a separate killing in Beirut. Earlier, The New York Times reported that Haniyeh was killed by a remote-controlled bomb that was smuggled in two months prior. Iran has arrested over two dozen people, including high-ranking officials, in connection with his death.
